BSB analysed
their individual DNA profiles to see what crucial element
each member represents in the group’s DNA. Watch the video

together, create the unstoppable and legendary Backstreet
Boys.

"That’s what I love about the DNA album,”
says Kevin Richardson. “We were able to bring all of our
influences and styles into one coherent piece of work. These
songs are a great representation of who we are as
individuals and who we are as a group. It’s our DNA.
We’re really proud of that.”

After 14 months of
setting and breaking records in Las Vegas, BSB’s residency
“Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life” ended on April 27
following 80 shows.

Produced by Live Nation, The
Backstreet Boys DNA World Tour - their largest arena tour in

throughout Europe and the United Kingdom and is currently
trekking across North America.

“Vegas was amazing
and the UK, European and US dates have been an absolute
party,” says Howie D. “Now it’s time for us to visit
our fans all over the world.”

“The journey is
ongoing with us and there is so much left to do,” added
Brian Littrell. “We’re living the next chapter that
hasn’t been told yet, and that’s exciting.”
